Granny's gone and done it again

It's according to the question. Example, I was so tempted to ask him ..who am I? It would be sad, on both parts if he didn'tknow the answer. It got to the point where I knew the answer to that anyway.
Asking if they want a drink or food..still, it's according to how far along they are in the illness. Yes. It got so I just prepared a meal for him and decided what drink would go with it. I knew he loved a certain drink. That was easy. Food too. He really started liking Mushroom soup! Probably because it was easy to swallow. Soups were. He got dysphagia pretty bad.

Ok

Dysphagia = inability to swallow/ difficulty swallowing?

Yes. He would start choking. Austin would hear him when home, run upstairs to watch with me. That's all we could do was watch until he got it under control. We talked to him as he calmed down..asking if he was ok now.

I hate that choking feeling. Feels like you're drowning and surely gonna die. I'm starting to have that sometimes. Can choke on your own saliva, never mind trying to eat or drink.

I do that a lot. I went to a Dr for it. They checked my thyroid and found it enlarged and did the biopsys but I didn't go back because he wanted me to swallow a tube down to measure how strong my ability is. I was too scared

I had the problem. They just went ahead and stretched my esophagus. Put me under. It helped tremendously. I'm ready to have it done again.

Hmmm.

They said they could spray the back of my throat but that was it.

They've said you're a risk because of your aneurysm though, right? That's why they can't put you under?

 

[BigBlueHen53]

But I've already lost some brain cells and memory from being put under ....
